i sent out emails for updates for my Rayphlex compressor yesterday, completing all of my comps. now they all have instructions and skins included, to allow the program switching buttons to work on skins with N4.

i want to make one thing clear because i’ve had a few emails about this, but after you install these skins you are not supposed to ever open the compressor programs with the ‘finder’ button inside N4. you open them as their own plug-in (a custom copy of n4), and then you use the buttons/switches on the skin to select the various versions of the comp (hard/soft knee, lite/full/shq quality levels). the program switching happens without losing your settings on the controls (nebula normally resets all controls to default upon switching programs). the only thing you still use the finder for is to load the pass-through/tone programs.

about SHQ and why i offer it- yes it can take a long time to render using SHQ. it’s optional and the difference can be pretty subtle. the reason i’ve been providing SHQ programs for something like 6-7 years now, with my comps, is because nebula comp programs are pretty much always using really shortened kern/impulse lengths. this has always been required because they need faster progrates to allow for the necessary faster response to input levels. but you can’t get that with longer kern lengths, so very short lengths have always been the norm. they got shortened even more once using TIMED mode became the norm, which allows even faster progrates, and removes the artifacts that used to plague nebula comps. the problem with timed mode is it uses lots of CPU, so to get those benefits you need even shorter kern lengths (which use less CPU) than was used before when FREQD mode was the norm (and there were artifacts).

the shortened kerns don’t allow for as accurate a reproduction of frequencies under 1khz though. and this is going to be true with any compressor program using them, not just mine. it’s just a law of nebula/convolution in general. so my SHQ programs have always used more full, longer kern lengths, usually around 80ms, which allow a better reproduction of lower freqs. this can still be a subtle difference as the most obvious stuff is below 100hz. but the most obvious case is with the natural high pass filtering type of effect you normally see with just about any hardware. it simply can’t be reproduced with the kinds of short kern/impulse length settings typically used in nebula comps.

so i think this round of n4 skin updates is important to anyone who was interested in trying to use my SHQ programs for rendering but was always annoyed by the controls resetting in nebula when switching programs. now that doesn’t happen and all you have to do is click one button. again, shq difference can still be pretty subtle, but these skins also allow you to mix with lite mode and just switch to full mode for rendering if you choose to do that instead (which adds the subtle harmonics back in). really, rendering with any option is fine and it could even make sense to use lite mode in some cases if you want the cleanest/most transparent result with no harmonics.

anyway, here’s a couple of graphs showing the kind of difference SHQ mode makes-

First off, if you’re still using Nebula 3, you can completely ignore this update, it won’t change anything for you.

Emails are going out to all C254E customers with the link for the updated files, right now.

With some help from Max I’ve updated my Nebula compressors skins to officially support installing and using the skins that allow program switching by clicking buttons in Nebula 4. This was always possible with the N3 skins but Max found out it can be done in N4 too. So now the skins that were formerly for Nebula 3 only, are replacing the simpler skins that I had made for use with Nebula 4, which don’t allow the program switching. The install of these skins is a little more complicated than it was for those simpler skins, but it’s absolutely worth it.

With these skins you can switch between lite, full, and SHQ modes with a single click, and you won’t even lose your settings (like you normally would when switching programs). The skins, when made, will show up in your plug-in list as all new plug-ins (custom copies of Nebula).

Max came up with the simplified install process of these skins for N4 as well as helping me test them after I implemented it. So huge thanks to Max! He has actually been showing people how to do this for a while now but I didn’t have time to look into it myself and do it ‘officially’. Max has been doing a lot to help push Nebula lately with his skin work, so you might consider checking out his patreon here: [URL=”https://www.patreon.com/azzimov”]https://www.patreon.com/azzimov[/URL]

I’m pretty sure I was told by Acustica a few years ago that the program selection buttons feature that was in my N3 skins, was removed from N4, which is why I originally had the simpler skins made for N4. Max found out that the feature is in fact still there, after all. I’ll be releasing these updates for my other compressors soon so stay tuned!
